Snap Inc. launches their IPO to a ridiculous valuation. Can they be sustained and will advertisers buy in? Do media companies have a problem with trust, and is the opportunity in the hands of brands? Then, Joe and Robert discuss the MarTech industry and how the industry leaders need to collaborate against Facebook, Amazon and Google.  Rants and raves include Buzzfeed's Tasty and McKinsey.  This week's This Old Marketing example: Chili Klaus
